HP Enterprise buying supercomputer star Cray 17 May 2019 "This is an amazing opportunity to bring together Cray's leading-edge technology and HPE's wide reach and deep product portfolio," said Cray chief executive Peter Ungaro. The merger faces regulatory approval. HPE, based in Palo Alto, California, was the created in November 2015 from the breakup of computing giant Hewlett-Packard into consumer and business units. Cray, whose history dates back to the 1970s, built some of the first supercomputers and recently won a contract for over $600 million for the US HP Enterprise is buying supercomputer maker Cray as Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National part of an expansion in data analytics Laboratory targeted to be the world's fastest system. © 2019 AFP Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) on Friday announced a $1.3 billion deal to buy supercomputer maker Cray, part of a move to expand into data analysis from connected devices . The acquisition comes as sensors, mobile devices and more gather mountains of information about people, things, and developments that can be mined for insights. "Answers to some of society's most pressing challenges are buried in massive amounts of data," said HPE chief executive Antonio Neri. "Only by processing and analyzing this data will we be able to unlock the answers to critical challenges across medicine, climate change, space and more." Neri described Seattle-based Cray as a global leader in supercomputing and said the merger will help HPE excel at high-performance computing. 1 / 2 APA citation: HP Enterprise buying supercomputer star Cray (2019, May 17) retrieved 28 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2019-05-hp-enterprise-supercomputer-star-cray.html This document is subject to copyright.

CRAY-2 Design Allows Many Types of Users to Solve Problems That Cannot Be Solved with Any Other Computers
Cray Research's mission is to lead in the development and marketingof high-performancesystems that make a unique contribution to the markets they serve. For close toa decade, Cray Research has been the industry leader in large-scale computer systems. Today, the majority of supercomputers installed worldwide are Cray systems. These systems are used In advanced research laboratories around the world and have gained strong acceptance in diverse industrial environments. No other manufacturer has Cray Research's breadth of success and experience in supercomputer development. The company's initial product, the GRAY-1 Computer System, was first installed in 1978. The CRAY-1 quickly established itself as the standard of value for large-scale computers and was soon recognized as the first commercially successful vector processor. For some time previously, the potential advantagee af vector processing had been understood, but effective Dractical imolementation had eluded com~uterarchitects. The CRAY-1 broke that barrier, and today vect~rization'techni~uesare used commonly by scientists and engineers in a widevariety of disciplines. With its significant innovations in architecture and technology, the GRAY-2 Computer System sets the standard for the next generation of supercomputers. The CRAY-2 design allows many types of users to solve problems that cannot be solved with any other computers. The GRAY-2 provides an order of magnitude increase in performanceaver the CRAY-1 at an attractive price/performance ratio. Introducing the CRAY-2 Computer System The CRAY-2 Computer System sets the standard for the next generation of supercomputers. It is characterized by a large Common Memory (256 million 64-bit words), four Background Processors, a clock cycle of 4.1 nanoseconds (4.1 billionths of a second) and liquid immersion cooling.

Performance Variability of Highly Parallel Architectures
Performance Variability of Highly Parallel Architectures William T.C. Kramer1 and Clint Ryan2 1 Department of Computing Sciences, University of California at Berkeley and the National Energy Research Scienti¯c Computing Center, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2 Department of Computing Sciences, University of California at Berkeley Abstract. The design and evaluation of high performance computers has concentrated on increasing computational speed for applications. This performance is often measured on a well con¯gured dedicated sys- tem to show the best case. In the real environment, resources are not always dedicated to a single task, and systems run tasks that may inﬂu- ence each other, so run times vary, sometimes to an unreasonably large extent. This paper explores the amount of variation seen across four large distributed memory systems in a systematic manner. It then analyzes the causes for the variations seen and discusses what can be done to decrease the variation without impacting performance. 1 Introduction The design and evaluation of high performance computers concentrates on in- creasing computational performance for applications. Performance is often mea- sured on a well con¯gured dedicated system to show the best case. In the real environment, resources are not always dedicated to a single task, and system run multiple tasks that may inﬂuence each other, so run times vary, sometimes to an unreasonably large extent. This paper explores the amount of variation seen across four large distributed memory systems in a systematic manner.[1] It then analyzes the causes for the variations seen and discusses what can be done to decrease the variation without impacting performance.

Tour De Hpcycles
Tour de HPCycles Wu Feng Allan Snavely [email protected] [email protected] Los Alamos National San Diego Laboratory Supercomputing Center Abstract • In honor of Lance Armstrong’s seven consecutive Tour de France cycling victories, we present Tour de HPCycles. While the Tour de France may be known only for the yellow jersey, it also awards a number of other jerseys for cycling excellence. The goal of this panel is to delineate the “winners” of the corresponding jerseys in HPC. Specifically, each panelist will be asked to award each jersey to a specific supercomputer or vendor, and then, to justify their choices. Wu FENG [email protected] 2 The Jerseys • Green Jersey (a.k.a Sprinters Jersey): Fastest consistently in miles/hour. • Polka Dot Jersey (a.k.a Climbers Jersey): Ability to tackle difficult terrain while sustaining as much of peak performance as possible. • White Jersey (a.k.a Young Rider Jersey): Best "under 25 year-old" rider with the lowest total cycling time. • Red Number (Most Combative): Most aggressive and attacking rider. • Team Jersey: Best overall team. • Yellow Jersey (a.k.a Overall Jersey): Best overall supercomputer. Wu FENG [email protected] 3 Panelists • David Bailey, LBNL – Chief Technologist. IEEE Sidney Fernbach Award. • John (Jay) Boisseau, TACC @ UT-Austin – Director. 2003 HPCwire Top People to Watch List. • Bob Ciotti, NASA Ames – Lead for Terascale Systems Group. Columbia. • Candace Culhane, NSA – Program Manager for HPC Research. HECURA Chair. • Douglass Post, DoD HPCMO & CMU SEI – Chief Scientist. Fellow of APS. Wu FENG [email protected] 4 Ground Rules for Panelists • Each panelist gets SEVEN minutes to present his position (or solution).
